Sam Smith spoke about his decision to come out ahead of the release of his smash album In The Lonely Hour in a new interview with Ellen DeGeneres.
It didn't feel like a coming out ... I came out when I was like four years old Smith who recently nabbed two American Music Awards for New Artist of the Year and Favorite Male Artist said. My mom said she knew when I was like three so I didn't have to actually properly come out.
He went on to note I kind of felt like I just had to mention it before I released my record ... If I did it afterwards people probably would've thought I was lying just to sell records which wasn't the case.
The singer 22 also clarified headline making remarks he made his role within the lesbian gay bisexual and transgender (LGBT) community earlier this year noting Of course I do want to be a spokesperson for the gay community but I want to be a spokesperson for everyone you know
It's been quite a year for Smith whose hit singles Stay With Me and I'm Not The Only One have been dominating airwaves all throughout 2014. Earlier this fall he was named Breakout of the Year as part of Out Magazine's annual OUT 100 list.
